We're giving YOU an amazing opportunity to enter your best photo of the Isle of Wight, in our brand new County Press Big 50 competition - and it could win you a spot in a special exhibition at Dimbola!

Whether it took you hours on professional kit, or was a lucky of-the-moment capture, and whether it's a seascape or landscape, a cute squirrel or even a lovely family snap, if it was taken in the last year, it could soon be on the walls of the Freshwater Bay photography museum and galleries!

Scroll down for how to enter by Friday, September 30...

The overall winner will receive a celebrity print by news photographer Larry Ellis, plus a camera shop voucher. Two runners up will also win an Ellis print.

Judges will be Mike Maloney, Britain’s most decorated press photographer and Daily Mirror chief photographer, the Isle of Wight's own award-winning photographer Sienna Anderson and Dimbola vice-chairman's David White.

The overall winner will be revealed on Friday, October 21, at the opening night of the Isle of Wight Camera Club Big 50 exhibition.

The exhibition, featuring the 50 shortlisted photos, will be open until December 31.

Good luck!
